In a not-so exciting turn of events, I thought it'd be fun to do one of these topics. I only hope to aspire to the same heights Shiney has ;P To start things off;

I am on a total GN'R kick at the moment (they're probably a contender for the top spot of favourite bands ever) and I always thought 'Yesterdays' was quite an underrated track. Shame the Youtube video quality is a bit pants.

Except where is the mystery? That man used to have sex appeal, and from what I'm hearing now, it's dissipated. ("Every Rose Has It's Thorn" was just one the radio, btw. Now it's Van Halen's "Jump". This reminds me of parking our cars out in the desert and jumping off of them like a bunch of loons, which was always fun.)

I hate all of these celebrity reality shows. It strips away any and all of the glamor, and shows us how screwed up they really are. I'm attracted to the mystery and shadows, and if there isn't any of that, then....well. Next.

Yeah, that's a fair point actually. I guess I wasn't really around when Bret Michaels had some form of dignity, so I probably can't appreciate his fall from glam-grace as well. It is clear to anyone though that he has aged badly - not physically (although that weave is fooling no one), but in the celebrity light, he does himself few favours.

I kinda envy you for getting into them just now, you know the whole elation of hearing great music for the first time.

Gotta love the line in the song...........

"They're just like cattle walking down the street -- Some get so fat while others never eat"

Yeah, I know what you mean. I will forever be jealous of people listening to Appetite for Destruction for the first time. That album absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it.

As for today's song, I also recently discovered the band Love / Hate;

I would have posted 'Rock Queen' but I couldn't find a good quality version of it online. I might be seeing these guys live in Bristol on Sunday if I can convince a friend to come with. They're apparently playing the entire Blackout In The Red Room album so it sounds like a good night.

Have you got their 2nd album Wasted In America? It's like the hangover after the party of Blackout! The best slab of left coast sleaze since Van Halen dropped their debut!

Little surprised you haven't found some of their stuff in ol' blighty, i think that was one of the few places they sold any records back in the day. Kerrang gave em a huge wrap which would of translated to sales. I've found their first 3 down here in used shops, even have Blackout on vinyl.

Apparently Jizzy was considered for the role of Jim Morrison on the movie "The Doors", even met Oliver Stone for it.

Yeah, I was surprised too. Seems Wasted In America is much easier to get a hold of than Blackout In The Red Room but I'll keep trying.
